Grammar Diagram

For grammar this week we did a grammar diagram where we had to label the parts of a sentence. (Verb Ph. , D.O., etc.) Then we answered some tough questions that made my brain hurt. jk. it was quite ridiculous and i didnt like it. But it was easily understandable.

It was so pitiful when...

It was so pitiful when I was six years old and my papaw died. Everyone was lugubrious. The only thing that I really remember was when my dad took me to his house to see him because they didn't expect him to last much longer. My mom told me that I always wanted to go and visit him and my granny. At my granny's the room that they used to sleep in is just there now. My granny won't sleep in there anymore and she barely goes in there anymore. We all miss him and love him so much.

He built my sister a bookshelf because when she was little that's all she did, read, and that's all that she asked for, a bookshelf. He made it all by himself. We still have it and we will never get rid of it either.

One thing that I remember about him was that he LOVED John Deere Tractors or anything John Deere.

I Am.....

I am unique and funny
I wonder if I would be a papaw's girl
I hear people thinking
I see my papaw
I want him to be able to see me now

I pretend that he is still here sometimes
I feel that I want it to be real
I touch my papaw's hands
I worry if I will be able to see him one day
I cry when I think about him
I am unique and funny

I understand that everything happens for a reason
I say that god loves my papaw very much
I dream that my papaw sees me sometimes
I try to do everything so I will be able to go to heaven
I hope that I get to be there with him one day
I am unique and funny

Journal Spotlight

My pecuniary goal is to save some money and spend what I don't save on clothes and shoes. I really love to shop and especially at the mall. I like to shop for skinny jeans and shoes mostly. I get most of my skinny jeans at Max Rave or Wet Seal. Those stores are the only place that I can get skinny jeans that fit me the right way. I like to get my shoes from Journey's because they have a bunch of different types of shoes. My goal is to get every color of skinny jeans there are and I already have blue ones.

11th Floor Ledge

If I were stranded on the 11th floor ledge of a skyscraper I would be sanguine. I would try to stay as calm as I could without panicking. I would most likely call for help, that is, if I wasn't to scared. I would wonder, while I was there, why in the world I was there because it must have been very important.

But, then again, when you thing about it, you don't really think about what you are doing when you are that scared. When you are frightened out of your mind, your mind doesn't work well.

Unctuous Guys

It is so annoying when guys are too unctuous. It's ok to be unctuous but not too unctuous. When guys are unctuous it is cute except when they are like clingy.

Most Annoying Person

The most annoying person I know would have to be my brother, Christian. When I'm at school I usually don't see him, so he normally doesn't bug me. But now that I have a class with him, he sometimes pushes me, it's so annoying.But the most annoying thing that my brother does is when I'm in my room and my door is locked, he just opens it and looks around for no random reason, it's so annoying. Sometimes he just screams really loud for no reason. He's like a parrot, just says something just to be loud, and annoying.

Grammar

In our English II class we took a test to see what all we needed help on. The grammar contract helps us gat a view on our areas of weakness. We hope this helps us improve on our weaknesses.

Our first weakness is pronouns. We found several practices that we could work on to improve. All together we have four areas of weakness. Our four areas are pronoun, prepostion, adverb and interjection.

We are using elements of language books, worksheets and creative activities. We hope after we work in these exercises that we will be able to improve in all four activities.

Fight!!!

The only fight I got into was back when I was in seventh grade. It was with a kid I hated and had many confrontations with. When he enrolled in my school, back in 6th grade, I was friends with him. Everything about us was the same, even our tempers. We were severely bellicose, clashing many times verbally, but never really got in a fight because of the kind of school we went to. A year of total mayhem went by. Then, in the middle of my 7th grade year, we were at each others throat at all times, waiting for the other to slip up. One day, we both had to go to the bathroom. The teacher knew of our issues so she sent an 8th grader with us to keep us in check. We went down and went in. I cant exactly recall what he said to me, but his words, along with the taunting of the 8th grader ignited the inner hatred in me. One thing led to another, and i had him against the wall. Then more stuff happened, and we got busted. We almost got suspended. we got lucky and only had to talk to the teacher in charge, (there wasn't a principal at the time.) Now we are cool, and when we get a chance to talk we always crack jokes about that day.

On the Ledge of a Skyscraper

Your standing on the 11th floor ledge of a skyscraper. What do you do?

I would freak out. Then I would walk around as much as I could. I would try to figure out a way to get into a window so I could be safe. After I had done that, I would be really sanguine. I would then tell everyone about it and how scary it was.
